Forty-five minutes after Benjamin gave the order, Joshua's Audi sedan finally arrived at the Fort Valley park. The old man intentionally did not bring the car he usually drove for fear that Valerie would see and notice.At this time, Joshua got out of his car with a paper bag containing the herbs ordered by his master.On the other hand, Benjamin came out from behind the shadows of the trees and directly approached Joshua."I brought everything you ordered, Young Master." Joshua quickly transferred the cardboard bag to Benjamin.Nodding his head, Benjamin responded, "Good job. I have sent some money to your account to reimburse you for the cost of these herbs as well as your sleep. Sorry for disturbing you."Joshua rejected that. "You don't need to make up for my sleep or even apologize for it. My duties as your assistant are twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. That means I don't have time for vacations and breaks to serve you. I do this with all my heart."Benjamin simply s
By three in the morning, Benjamin, fatigued yet content, decided to document the recipes and reactions of the successful Jade Young Pill and Shallow River Dragon Pill. With unwavering focus, he diligently entered this crucial information into his laptop.His success didn't instill fear of his writings being read by others; rather, he recognized that the crucial element in creating the pill was the white flame that materialized in his hand, something unique to him that no one else possessed.As the sun began to make its presence known, Valerie knocked on his bedroom door. Benjamin, without hesitation, powered off his laptop and swung the door open."What's the matter, Val?" Benjamin inquired upon noticing Valerie's troubled expression.Valerie swiftly relayed that her father had received a report about an unexpected incident at the Morgan family villa. Benjamin nodded and promptly grabbed the cardboard bag that had been prepared on the table."Let's go," Benjamin said with a serious to
"Master Morgan, I am the most deserving person to receive treatment from Magical Doctor Frost. I am a politician who has done a lot for Regal Hill. But, look at me now. My body condition is very weak due to heart disease. Please help me now, I will help you in the future as well!""Master Morgan, I am the one who deserves this opportunity the most! I have helped you in the past, don't you remember that?""No, I'm the one who deserves it more here, Mr. Morgan!"Realizing that only twenty people would get the miraculous treatment from Benjamin Frost, everyone started clamoring. They vied, feeling that they were the only ones who deserved the treatment. They also mentioned who they were and exaggerated their backgrounds, hoping that Albert would choose one of them."Master Morgan, we used to work together. I helped you when your company went through a crisis ten years ago. Do your old friend a favor, Master Morgan!""Master Morgan, help my father who is sick. He can't walk because of a s
Benjamin smiled with satisfaction, content with the capabilities of the twenty individuals before him. Subsequently, he initiated the formation of a group named "Shallow River."The nucleus of our group consisted of the two individuals we pinpointed, while the guiding figures steering the group were indeed the initial three people Albert had mentioned earlier on in our conversation."Shallow River essentially operates as a collective, where all members contribute to the overarching objective. However, the primary goal of the collective is not determined through joint decision-making; only I have the authority to set it," Benjamin explained emphatically.Nods circulated among the group. There was no dissent regarding the party's vision and mission; their commitment to Benjamin had been previously affirmed. In that moment, an unspoken vow echoed within each of them – a pledge not to oppose Benjamin.A smile played on Benjamin's lips as he snapped his fingers, his tone firm as he added,
The woman resisted, yanking her hand forcefully until it slipped free from the man's grip. In retaliation, she delivered a resounding and furious slap across his face."Don't push me any further!" she warned, pointing her index finger directly at the tip of his nose. "I've made myself clear; we're done! You and I have nothing more than a friendship. Don't compel me to ruin whatever remains of our amicable connection!""I don't care!" The man snapped so loudly that his saliva flew in all directions. "You dumped me unilaterally, I never agreed with your decision! Now, however, you must get back to my apartment."The girl regarded her ex-boyfriend with disdain, then sneered, "Return to your apartment? Huh, don't even dream! Honestly, I'm certain none of the girls in the world would want to live with you. Your rude and forceful behavior utterly lacks any respect for women. I'm done with you!"As she spoke, the man's nostrils emitted a smoky breath. He glared at the woman fiercely and prom
Hearing his nephew's name mentioned, Fabian choked on his saliva.'For God's sake, what's that little brat up to? Out of all the millions of people he could have offended, why did he choose to offend Master Frost?' Fabian muttered to himself.Fabian coughed, clearing his throat of any lingering irritation, and then asked, "Mr. Frost, if it turns out to be my nephew, I wouldn't hesitate to lay down a hefty punishment. But can you be absolutely sure it's Darvis Luther?""I'm pretty darn sure he's your nephew, Mr. Luther. He even had the audacity to boast that he's the nephew of a big-shot politician – none other than you," Benjamin responded, shooting a sidelong grin at Darvis.Fabian silently cursed, fed up with his meddlesome nephew who seemed to revel in stirring up trouble. Despite it all, he couldn't deny the love he harbored for Darvis; after all, blood was thicker than water.However, Fabian loved his nuclear family much more. Therefore, Fabian decided to do one thing he had neve
Darvis pondered for a moment, his thoughts treading cautiously. He felt as though he were walking on fragile eggshells, navigating a precarious situation.On one hand, complying with Benjamin's request would shatter his pride.But, on the other hand, not complying could tarnish his family name.Plus, his uncle sounded very angry. Darvis should not have his name removed from the Luther family just because of this shabby-looking man in front of him.Darvis stared down at Benjamin's worn-out shoes, a shiver running through him. There was not a single force in the universe that could make Darvis willingly stoop to kissing Benjamin's feet. Unfortunately, this was not the moment for him to dwell on ego and pride. The stakes were higher – his standing within the Luther family hung in the balance if he failed to heed Benjamin's commands.A soft growl escaped the man. However, with a heavy heart, he begrudgingly knelt before Benjamin, his body tense and unyielding. Darvis' hands were clenched
Aria looked at him with interest and hope, asking, "If you offer me a job, I am very interested! Mr. Frost, I need money right now."Witnessing her eagerness, Benjamin grinned with satisfaction. Convincing the girl seemed to require little effort."Yes, I am offering you a promising job," Benjamin said. "Moreover, this job seems to suit your background. I need a woman who can work on complex matters without missing a single detail. Do you have that ability?"Aria quickly responded, "No worries, Mr. Frost, you can always count on me for such tasks. I've completed three semesters of my management studies with nearly perfect grades. The only catch is that I lack sufficient work experience after graduating. I've only worked for one company, and that's Darvis' company."Benjamin waved his arm. "It's not a problem if you don't have enough experience. My organization is also recently formed, so you won't encounter any heavy complex matters in the short future. This will be a great place to g
